The green monster is waiving the white flag. Say what??? Sorry - that was presumptuous on my part I just meant the wall was getting blasted by the Angels that inning. A bit of ice, and hopefully the swelling will go down.

As we've seen the last two games, some teams seem to be hitting just fine. Screw the baseballs, the umps - how did our bats get so bad?

Anyone heard from Bloom in this stellar stretch? Seems pretty crickety.

Franchy will not be the hoped for deliverer.
AAAA all the way.

On another note. how is it that Ohtani can be so good as pitcher and hitter. We are watching history with this guy.

Embarrassing. Rock bottom yet??? Hate to be too optimistic, but I think we still have a little bit more to go.

ERA of the starting rotation: 2.86 2.51 1.38 1.25 7.84
If someone told you that'd be the case through 26 games, what do you think your guess on their record would be... 17-9?

Ironic bit of fun or not, no one is waving the white flag just yet. Just yet. But the inquiry into the failings and cures is underway because good teams are always looking at the way forward. It is too early for massive restructuring, but it would not be surprising if a few folks traded uniforms in the next couple of weeks.

Team is broken right now. Question is does this become a "bridge" year or do they do some major surgery during the season? Hopefully Bloom is making some calls because this at the moment looks like the 2023 pick will be top 5.

It is too early for massive restructuring, but it would not be surprising if a few folks traded uniforms in the next couple of weeks. I think the issue with this though is that, historically, you very rarely see May trades. Maybe some teams are open to that, however it would be pretty shocking to see that trend change dramatically.

I am only 52 and not as old as some of you but in my time...... Most dominate hitter - Bonds Most Dominate pitcher- Randy Best overall player - Ohtani There might have been beyter pitchers (Pedro, Clemens, Maddux, etc) and better hitters (Gwynn, Boggs, Pucket, Ichiro, etc) but those were the most dominate to me. For the record.... I think Bonds could still 20+ homeruns today.

This is going to be one of those seasons in which our winter happiness depends on one thing: Did the MFY win or lose their last October game?
If we get to celebrate MFY Elimination Day, secure valuable assets at the deadline, and grab a high pick in the '23 draft, I'll get through the winter. I'll know that better times are coming.

But if you're looking for someone who did it clean in that time period, I'd go Big Hurt. By adjusted ERA, prime Pedro is the GOAT. But RJ, of course, had a longer period of greatness. Neither one would win five games with the Hitless Wonders that the 2022 RS have become.

that is because they don't pitch 3x through the order. I believe Ohtani just pitched 3x through the order.
